Scientists tinkering with a time machine make contact with humans 3,000 years in the future, and if you think life will be better then than it is now, guess again. When a woman from the future slips back into the 20th century, she's a mutant, a scarred figure in a spangled catsuit. It's a horror cheapie with a message: If we want to prevent bad shit from happening to our distant descendants, we'd better get our act together in the present. A quick glance at the present would suggest that the odds of us doing that are not too good. Also, you don't want to mess with a scarred woman in a spangled catsuit.
